Synopsis

In mad monologue, toothless, shirtless, in song and spit, a man speaks out about the world trade center like a barometer of the times.

Great Balls of Fire is a beat in the rhythm of New York on September 11 and 12 according to James E. Jones, a homeless man who keeps time with a cup of coins and street prophecy.
